Situated in South Cornwall this existing garagewas partially demolished and completely remodelled in order to provide the owner with an incredible annexe for use as a home office, library and contemplation space. With a surprising amount of space created in an innovative way the annexe takes up no more of a footprint than the original garage. This project was designed by David Sheppard Architects and work started on site in the summer of 2021. It was a complex and challenging project in many ways but the main contractor overcame these issues and completed in the summer of 2022. We provided Quantity Surveying services including processing valuations and providing on going cost and contractual advice to the client.
